daveb Posted May 15, 2025 Share Posted May 15, 2025 I take a vitamin that is twice daily. When I take one in the morning I turn the bottle upside. When I take one in the evening I turn it right side up again. That helps remind me if I have taken one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to them not being an option growing up in Manhattan in the 60s, and then living too close to high school when we moved to Long Island, and not being allowed to spend time with schoolmates outside of school (don't ask), I lost out on some useful education. OTOH, I don't regret missing out on the crowding, cliquishness and bullying I heard about from my fellow "loser" friends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked to school in the 60s, too (even as small children, and even in the rain and snow). We rode busses for field trips. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I associate buses with field trips, not every day "school commute". @daveb Interesting hack, re: medications Thanks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyke Posted May 15, 2025 Share Posted May 15, 2025 I walked to school until I was 12. Sometimes that was longer than a mile. For two school years at about 7 and 8, I walked home for lunch as well (my brother was a really fussy eater and couldn't get on with school dinners). When he moved to Senior school I changed to school dinners (to my parents great relief I just ate what was put in front of me - no questions asked). But at age 12 we moved town and bus was the only sensible way to get to the mega-campus out of town. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick2 Posted May 15, 2025 Share Posted May 15, 2025 I walked to school 1st grade thru my sophomore yr in high school. About a mile there and back. Don't ever remember getting a snow day. Or any day off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycaptain Posted May 16, 2025 Share Posted May 16, 2025 Until 11 I walked to school, 11 to 14 I took the train, then we moved house so it was a regular service bus from then. At secondary school ( 11-18) we'd occasionally get "snow days", as our school had a large, rural, quite hilly catchment area, so if buses or trains stopped pupils couldn't get in, or there was a risk that snowfall would strand them. Note for non-UK folk, our trains are carefully designed to stop working after 5mm ¼" of snow falls and until recently winter tyres were unheard of 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveb Posted June 1, 2025 Share Posted June 1, 2025 I remember my grandparents coming to visit, and smoking. 3 out of 4 of my grandparents smoked. One died in his early 70s after a long awful bout of lung cancer. Another lived to a ripe old age, but had emphysema in his later years. The other 2 passed away of other causes (one relatively young, the other (the only non-smoker) after a long active life). I don't miss the ubiquity of smoking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted June 2, 2025 Share Posted June 2, 2025 When I was young, everyone smoked everywhere. In the car, in the restaurant, in the home, in the movie theater, even in hospitals. I taught myself to smoke when I was 19 because I felt odd not smoking. It was a social requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
